How Bed Bug
Dog Inspections Work

Before the inspection begins, we complete a quick walk-through of the space to ensure there is nothing that could distract or harm the dog.

Zeppelin then conducts the inspection, using scent detection to locate live bed bugs or viable eggs. If Zeppelin alerts to an area, we confirm the presence of bed bugs and discuss treatment options with you.

Locations We Inspect

Bed bug dog inspections are ideal for many environments including:
 

• Homes
• Apartments
• Hotels
• Care homes
• Medical facilities
• Emergency response vehicles
 

Early detection helps prevent infestations from spreading and reduces treatment costs.

Prevention Through Early Detection

For facilities such as hotels, care homes, military housing, and multi-unit properties, prevention is far more cost-effective than reacting to a full infestation.

Routine canine inspections can identify bed bugs before they spread to multiple rooms or units.

Many organizations schedule quarterly detection inspections to monitor for early signs of activity.

Benefits include:

✔ Reduced treatment costs
 ✔ Early containment of infestations
 ✔ Less disruption for guests, residents, or staff
 ✔ Peace of mind that properties remain pest-free
